Digital BW, The Print

Bruce, 
I was afraid that was what you were talking about. However, to me it seems
more a factor of marketing by the manufacturers than anything else. I say
this after years within the printer division of IBM. With the rapidly
growing numbers of people in digital photography and an equally rapidly
growing number now seeking to produce fine art/commercial quality black and
white through digital, there is no reason why the manufacturers could not
produce an affordable printer with wider format as well as the ability to
produce high quality black and white with the whole gray scale. Maybe they
need to hear from many of us that there IS a demand. According to the specs
on this list alone there are over 7600 members. Even a representative
submission of requests from a percentage of that number would get some
attention. Say, starting now?

Yes, two printers. One color, one B&W. If you want that same level of 
quality as you could get from the d'Vinci system that's what it takes. 
Else, you have to print B&W with color inks. Many here are happy with 
the results of B&W with color inks. I don't think that's the answer. 
You'll have to decide what works for you.
